Redhawk SDRROOT, don't see components

Question

Our admin installed stuff to SDRROOT=/var/redhawk/sdr but I wanted to have my own SDRROOT, which I set to ~/redhawk/sdr.

The problem is that the I don't see components like sigGen, hardLimit in the components palette.
I followed the following instruction given by Axios.
These instructions did not solve my problem:

$ mkdir -p $SDRROOT/{dom/components,dom/waveforms,dom/domain,dev/devices,dev/nodes}

$ ln -s /var/redhawk/sdr/dom/mgr $SDRROOT/dom/mgr

$ ln -s /var/redhawk/sdr/dev/mgr $SDRROOT/dev/mgr

$ cp /var/redhawk/sdr/dom/domain/DomainManager.dmd.xml.template \
     $SDRROOT/dom/domain/DomainManager.dmd.xml

$ gedit $SDRROOT/dom/domain/DomainManager.dmd.xml

An SDRROOT stands on its own. If you use your own, you need to ensure it contains any software you want to use. You haven't mentioned copying/linking the components you wanted to use into your SDRROOT (SigGen, etc). They should be inside /var/redhawk/sdr/dom/components. You could do this, for example, with:

cd ~/redhawk/sdr/dom/components
for $component in /var/redhawk/sdr/dom/components/*; do
  ln -s $component
done

Also, don't forget to update environment variables to point at your SDRROOT. Check the variables that get set in /etc/profile.d/redhawk.sh for reference.
